Outstanding luxury hotel. Rooms reminded me of the DC Fairmont before the Fairmont was acquired by a hotel conglomerate and went to the dogs. Staff was excellent, as well. Perfect location for enjoying Bar Harbor and Acadia. Free onsite parking was great. Included continental breakfast was good, but pretty standard. Dozens of Restaurants and shops within easy walking distance.

This was an absolutely wonderful experience. We would stay here anytime. Friendly staff, very clean hotel, large and very comfortable room in a fantastic location. A short walk to the waterfront, surrounded by restaurants, shopping and activities. Very close to several Acadia entrances. Coffee 24/7 and an outstanding included breakfast. We were able to utilize laundry facilities half way through our 2.5 week travels while staying here. We really cannot say enough!
